OK, thanks everyone. I guess I was looking to spend < $2500, new or used.
MiniMonitor 33lbs w/realistic vocals,not bright.
I listen to popular music (50's to now) and want mini-monitors (bedroom-corner system, not desktop, sitting 5-6 feet away). My goals are
[1]silky but realistic, rounded vocals that have detail and are palpable with details and character;
[2]bass control;
[3]limited piercing brash highs that make me wince.
I have a good tubed headphone amp/preamp in this space (it's now a headphone system) so active speakers are fine, but passives with a small amp could work too. So what would be a good speaker or speaker/amp combo?
My 1st try was active Quad 12Ls (because I love my Quad 9Ls on my computer), and I kind of like them but I'm looking for that does the silky-midrange-vocal + sweet-highs thing.
My source in an EMM cd player.
(If you have thoughts on getting what I want out of the Quad 12Ls, that would be fine too.)
